COMFIER Neck and Back Massager with Heat

This massager is basically a spot massager for the lower back rather than a full-back massager. The shiatsu rollers stay in one location instead of traveling up and down the cushion. The rollers are very comfortable and provide a soothing, relaxing massage. Instead of a remote control, the unit features a simple four-button control panel located on the lower right side of the cushion. I prefer this setup because it makes the massager easy to use in the car with a 12V adapter. The buttons are a little difficult to see, but after using them a few times, they're easy to identify by touch. The top button turns the unit on and off. The second button changes the direction of the shiatsu rollers, with the massage function automatically shutting off after 15 minutes. The third button selects between two heat settings, both of which become pleasantly warm. The fourth button controls the heat timer, allowing you to choose 15, 30, or 60 minutes. There are two adjustable straps on the back to secure the massager to a chair. When you're not using the massage function, the small adjustable pillow can be height adjusted for use as a lumbar support. I own other massage cushions with rollers that travel up and down the back, but this one has become my go-to for targeted lower back relief. I also like to rest the back of my thigh on it to massage tight hamstrings, and it works well on my arms too. It's lightweight, portable, and easy to move wherever you need it, making it a great option for both home and car use.

I'm really enjoying my new Comfier Shiatsu Lumbar Support Massage Cushion! Just having it on my office chair makes a big difference in how my back feels at the end of the day, whether or not I utilize the awesome Shiatsu Massage & Heat Features. The Unit measures approx 15" Tall & 16" Wide at the widest point. It's 2" deep & offers really effective lower back support. The Built-in Side Support Panels offer Additional Lumbar Support without restricting movement. I love that this Lumbar Support/Massage Cushion is Super Lightweight & has a Cloth Carry Handle for Easy Transport. The Soft Gray Cover Fabric & Darker Grey Tightly Woven Mesh Fabric are Hand Washable with a Damp Sponge. Stitching is Mostly Invisible, Accenting the Decorative Cording Finish that Outlines the Unit. This Comfier Lumbar Shiatsu Massage Cushion Appears to be a Lot More Upscale & Expensive than the Price Comfier is Asking! Inside this Attractive Lumbar Shiatsu Massage Cushion are (2) Sets of 4 Rollers each, (2) - 1" & (2) - 1/2" . These Massage Roller "Fingers" are Pre-Programmed to Provide a Deep Kneading Shiatsu Massage that Helps to Soothe Lower Back Pain. These Stationary "Fingers" Start Massaging The Moment The Unit Is Turned On! There is No Remote For This Model. Instead, Comfier has Designated an Easy to Reach Area on the Outside of the Right Side Support Cushion, to Position a 3" x 1" Built In Panel Offering (4) 1/2" Brightly Lit Buttons Marked With Feature Icons. Top Button Turns Power On/Off 2nd Button Switches the Direction the Shiatsu Rollers Are Moving. Choose Between Clockwise & Counter Clockwise. 3rd Button Controls The Heat Feature. Choose Between Low, High Or Off by Pressing The Heat Icon Button. Comfier's Default Setting Is High Heat & is Represented By A Bright Red Light. Low Heat Settings Displays A Darker Red Button Color. 4th Button Offers The Ability To Set the Heat Feature Run Time for 15, 30 or 60 minutes as well. Comfier's Default Shut Off is 15 Minutes. NOTE: Timer Is For the Heat Feature Only. When the Heat Feature Is Turned Off, The Timer Button Turns Off As Well. I especially Appreciate That Comfier Designed This Lumbar Support Shiatsu Massage Cushion with (2) Sets of Straps to Secure The Cushion to the Chair during Use. Each Strap Measures Approx 11" in Length & 1 1/2" Wide. One Strap End Offers A Generous 6" Of Velcro & the Other, A 2 1/2" Section containing the Tiny Velcro "Hooks" that Secure it to the Velcro on the Opposite Strap. I Confess I Have Used These Straps To Secure The Cushion To My Bed Pillow When Using The Cushion While Sitting In Bed. I also Love the Included 5 1/2" Tall x 8" Wide Adjustable/Detachable Foam Pillow Designed To Cover the Shiatsu Rollers When Not In Use, Increasing Overall Comfort. Comfier has Designed This Cushion With A 13" Long Strap, the end of which features a 1" Square of Velcro. This Strap Attaches to the Back of the Massage Unit, Where Comfier has Positioned a 6 1/2" Tall x 1 1/2 " Wide Strip Of Velcro. Comfier includes An Easy To Comprehend User Manual With Instructions & Important Safety Information & Power Cable. Overall, This Comfier Shiatsu Back Support Massage Cushion is Super Efficient For Relieving Lower Back Pain Caused By Sitting In My Office Chair For Too Many Hours. Although the Shiatsu Massage "Fingers" Are Fixed In Place,The Effects Of The Rotating Massage "Fingers" & Heat Are Sensational! Highly Recommend!

I absolutely love this pillow! After spending long hours at my desk, I used to end the day with terrible back and neck pain, but this has made such a difference. The pillow naturally encourages proper posture, which has really helped with how I feel throughout the day. The heated massage function is wonderful. I can turn on both the heat and the massage simultaneously, and it feels amazing. One thing to note: you do need to plug it in to use the heat and massage features, so you'll need to be near an outlet. However, the cord is quite long. For me, this isn't an issue since I use it at my office desk. If you spend long days in an office chair and deal with back or neck discomfort, I highly recommend this. It's been worth every penny and has genuinely improved my daily comfort level!

It was great when I bought it, but now a little over a year later, it won't heat. I guess I should have wondered why it was offering a service plan at extra cost. Bummer because I need this for constant back pain from compression fractures.

As a pianist, I'm constantly suffering lumbar pain from long periods of sitting. I use this after practice to relieve my tired back muscles and it definitely helps. The heat understandably takes some time to warm up but feels good once at strength. The shiatsu feature definitely relieves tension. The only negative is the "adjustable" back pillow. It's on an elastic band that is not really adjustable though you can place it where you want then lie back and press into place. Sure, that works but it is annoying to have to reposition it if you have to get up for any reason. It would be better if it were secured by an actual adjustable strap. All in all, I'm happy with the unit despite this small reservation.
